    Abstract: The phase field method(PFM) is one of the fastestgrowing computational methods in computational materials science. Basic thermodynamic and kinetic information was taken as input and it can be used to model and predict the mesoscale morphology and microstructure evolution of materials. Firstly, the historical development, physical basis, mathematical expression and numerical solution of the phase field model were summarized. Secondly, some research hotspots in the application of the PFM in solidification such as pure materials, binary alloys, multiple component systems and other applications (e.g. directional solidification, additive manufacturing) were concluded. Finally, the phase field method was summarized and prospected, and it was pointed out that the development of the phase field method should tend to the development of super largescale phase field simulation, more efficient algorithm, the combination of phase field model and thermodynamics, kinetics database, industrial application exploration and its further integration with experimental observation technology.

    Abstract: In order to investigate the effect of liquid phase generation behavior of sinter blending ore on sinter quality, the basic characteristics of the blended ore at different ratios of ore were analyzed experimentally. The effects of the liquidphase generation behavior of the blending material on phase structure, technical and economic indicators and metallurgical properties of the sinter were investigated by SEMEDS, softeningmelting drop test and other performance measurement tests. The results indicate that the ratio of iron ore has an influence on the liquid phase generation behavior of the blending ore, which in turn affects the sinter quality. The higher the liquid phase fluidity index of the mixture, the easier the sinter is to form a thinwalled structure with large pores, resulting in poor strength. The sinter drum index tends to decrease and then increase with the increase of the assimilation temperature of the blending ore, which is negatively correlated with the liquid phase fluidity index of the blending ore. The liquid phase fluidity index of blending ore increases from 4.67 to 5.53, then sinter drum index decreased from 73.33% to 68.00%. The higher the liquid phase fluidity index of blended ore, the worse the RDI of sinter. In this experiment, when the assimilation temperature of the blending ore is 1296℃ and the liquid phase fluidity index is 4.69, the reducibility of sinter is up to 83.67% and the softening interval of the sinter is the narrowest.

    Abstract:In order to optimize combined blowing technology of oxygen converter, it is necessary to understand the aerodynamic properties of the isothermal tube with frictional adiabatic flow. The key parameters of the gas flow (pressure P, flow Q and thrust F, etc.) are measured by using steel pipe bundles. Combined with theoretical analysis, a series of datum (Mach number M, velocity V, temperature T, density ρ, Froude′s number Fr, entropy increase ΔS, blowing efficiency η, boundary layer thickness δ, etc.) can be obtained to characterize the properties of frictional adiabatic tube flow along the direction of pipe flow and pipe exit. The main measured parameters and the used steel pipes can meet the requirements of the design of converter permeable element. The study on interaction between the bottom blowing air flow and the molten pool, and the formulation of the combined blowing process provide necessary basic data for the development of combined blowing technology. This experiment is the first domestic research to systematically and comprehensively study the frictional adiabatic flow of pipes with crosssections for airpermeable bricks. The used tube bundle method can simplify the experimental equipment and reduce the systematic error of the test data. A formula for calculating the thickness of the boundary layer is proposed based on the size of the steel pipe and the injection efficiency of the adiabatic flow of constant cross section.

    Abstract: The stationary steel/slag melt droplet model was established based on CSF model, and the VOF method was used to simulate the coalescence behaviors of the steel/slag melt droplets. The results show that when the same diameter and the same kind of droplets coalesce, the coalescence speed periodically oscillates and continuously decays. With the decreasing in melt droplet size, the period of melt droplet oscillation becomes shorter and the peak decreases. As for the melt droplets with different surface tensions and the same diameter, the obvious Marangoni effect was observed, and the gradient of the surface tension between different melt droplets promoted the melt droplets to move forward melt droplet with low surface tension. Besides, the melt droplet with high surface tension is above the melt droplet with low surface tension. It can provide the theoretical basis for the enhancement of heat and mass transfer in iron and steel smelting.

    Abstract: The microstructure evolution of high chromium steel used as the working layer of composite roll materials during solidification and heat treatment was studied systematically. The equilibrium phase diagram was calculated by Thermo-Calc software to clarify the precipitation behavior of carbides in the process of equilibrium solidification and cooling. The effect of austenitizing temperature on the phase transformation behavior was accurately measured by thermal dilatometer, and the isothermal transformation kinetic curve of pearlite was obtained. Combined with scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometer and Xray diffraction analysis, the effect of heat treatment process on the final microstructure is determined, and the effect of primary carbide M7C3 and secondary carbide formed during solidification on the heat treatment structure is clarified, which provides a theoretical basis for the practical heat treatment process of high chromium steel composite roll working layer material.

    Abstract: The effects of RH deoxidization on cleanliness, ladle top slag, inclusion evolution and continuous casting of aluminumcontaining electrical steel were studied. The oxidizability of top slag by two deoxidization methods are similar. The result of thermodynamic calculation indicates the capacity of Sideoxidization slag to absorb aluminate inclusions is stronger than that of Aldeoxidization slag. Al2O3CaOCaS composites are the main inclusions in Aldeoxidized steel and Al2O3 is the main inclusion in Sideoxidization steel. Typical inclusions in hot rolled coils under two different deoxidization methods both are AlN, MnS and composite aluminates. The amount of inclusions in Aldeoxidization hot rolled coils is about 2-3 times as much as that in Si deoxidization hot rolled coils, which is in good agreement with the theoretical prediction. Because of different calcium contents in molten steel, during continuous casting of Sideoxidization molten steel in CSP process, the tundish stopper will rise. It is suggested that Sideoxidization should be used in traditional continuous casting process while Aldeoxidization should be used in CSP process.

    Abstract: The effect of SRB on the corrosion behavior of X80 pipeline steel in Dagang soil simulated solution at different temperatures was studied by using linear polarization curve, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) and scanning electron microscope. The experimental results show that SRB can aggravate the corrosion of X80 pipeline steel in Dagang soil simulation solution. And it has different effects on it when the SRB activity is affected by different temperatures. When the ambient temperature is 30℃, the SRB activity is strong, the cell density in the biofilm is high, and its compactness increases, which accelerates the electrochemical corrosion rate of metals. When the ambient temperature is 50℃, the activity of SRB is low and the compactness of the biofilm formed on the metal surface is poor. In this situation, the electrochemical corrosion rate of X80 pipeline steel is basically same as that in aseptic soil simulated solution. And the corrosion rate in simulated solution containing SRB is less than 30℃.

    Abstract: The measurement uncertainty of highentropy alloys made the present technology of tensile (compression) test not to be able to use for the measurement of mechanical property of highentropy alloy. The microscopic theory of metal elastic deformation reveals that the measurement uncertainty can be attributed to the microstructure change of the tested metals on the atomic level caused by tensile stress in the elastic deformation stage of tensile test. On the basis, it is suggested that for the highentropy alloys a “mechanical properties  tension strain rate” curve was used for the characterization of the original mechanical property,service mechanical property and mechanical property during processing and deformation.

    Abstract:The rotating bending fatigue test of 32Cr3MoVE bearing steel was carried out with a smooth funnelshaped specimen, and the rotational bending fatigue characteristics and crack initiation and propagation behavior of 32Cr3MoVE bearing steel were studied. The fatigue limit measured by the lifting method is 860MPa, Fatigue fractures were observed using SEM and statistical breaking tests were performed that 68.7% of fatigue failure was caused by nonmetallic, 18.8% by surface machining defects, and 12.5% by surface roughness. When the loading stress is lower than 980MPa, the fatigue fracture is mainly caused by the internal nonmetallic inclusions. When the loading stress is higher than 980MPa, the fatigue fracture is mainly caused by surface defects. The maximum stress intensity factors caused by surface machining defects and surface roughness are 3.05MPa·m1/2 and 2.97MPa·m1/2, which are easy to cause fatigue cracks. When the size of nonmetallic inclusions is in the range of 5.30-5.90μm and the local stress increases from 859.35MPa to 977.75MPa, the fatigue life decreases from 1.96×105 to 1.58×105. When the local stress of nonmetallic inclusions is in the range of 840-900MPa, and the inclusion size increases from 2.28μm to 5.83μm, the fatigue life decreases from 1.10×106 to 1.96×105.

    Abstract: Austenite to pearlite transformation in the continuous cooling process after deformation between 720℃ and 920℃ was studied in eutectoid steel, the relationship model between undercooling and interlamellar spacing was presented, and the mechanical properties were evaluated. The results show that transformation to pearlite is promoted by the role of deformation energy even under a high cooling rate of 50℃/s, fine pearlite with the interlamellar spacing of 129-187 nm is obtained, and the tensile strength is evaluated to be nearly 1000MPa. With the increase in deformation temperature, the deformation energy decreases, and interlamellar spacing decreases as the transformation temperature decreases, which leads to the increase in yield strength and tensile strength.
